This study aims to examine the formation and characteristics of the music system in the Daehan Empire (or Korean Empire) and to elucidate its meaning in the music history of Korea with a focus on the elevation of the court music system in the Empire era up to an imperial state level and the acceptance of Western music. The court music system in the Daehan Empire era is closely related to "modernization". Joseon dynasty launched system reforms for modernization, including the establishment of Tongrigimuamun in 1880, which led to "Eulmi Reform"in 1895, and then it established the direction of the music system in the Daehan Empire. The court music system based on the Eulmi Reform proceeded with two ways, which were completely contrary to each other: The direction of independent nation such as the use of yeonho (name of the year) led to the establishment of systems as an imperial state, while the introduction of Western civilization and institutions led to the establishment of a western music band. The changes in the music system related to the implementation of imperial systems led to the adoption of parilmu and the use of gung-ga, and those related to the introduction of modern Western culture led to the establishment of a western music band. With regard to the establishment of imperial music system, although the gung-ga system was established at Heonhyeon for the organization of musical instruments, some jeryeo-ak followed the system in 1892 (the year of im-jin) and some other jeryeo-ak entirely referred to the records at the time of its establishment in the late period of Joseon dynasty. As such, it may be said that the term "gung-ga" related to the imperial music system was simply used, but a substantial imperial music system was not established. With regard to ilmu, an imperial music system was substantially established as the existing yugilmu (six ilmu) was changed to parilmu (eight ilmu). In relation to the music system in the Daehan Empire, it mainly featured the revised music system in 1892 (the year of im-jin), and its major historical literature was "Daehan-yejeon". The issues related to the introduction of a western music band in the Daehan Empire era include the name of military band, the formation process of western music band, and the incorporation of western music band into court music. It is known that the name of military music band was usually used to western military music band, but it was used to naechwi earlier, and the Daehan Empire dualistically had the naechwi military music band and the western military music band. There were two types of western military music band, "gokhodae" and "gunak-dae". The gokhodae, formed in the end of 19th century, was a comparatively simple music band as it was composed of gokho (flute) and buk (drum), largely used for military camps. There were two types of military music band, "naechwi military music band" and "western style military music band". Although these two were different with each other, they were organized with various musical instruments in order to escort the king. As such, since "military music band" in the Daehan Empire had two meanings in terms of generic noun, and it had two meanings in terms of proper noun, it is noted to use it carefully. The introduction of western music during the Daehan Empire was the third instance that foreign music was introduced in the history of Korean music, and it characterizes the music system in the Daehan Empire era the most, giving the significance to the music history. The music system in the Daehan Empire was established from the basic concept of "modernization" while it inherited from the music system of Joseon dynasty, and furthermore the music system in ancient Orient and that in modern Western coexisted in it. It may be said that the reformation of the music system in the Daehan Empire began in 1895
